Lyin' Donzie Lyrics

Ohh tragedy by the Cartecay River, enough to make a grown man change

Truth was untold, there was no victim, nobody should have been blamed

I can see him now, sipping his dopes, smoking on his alberts all the way to the road

Old Lyin' Donzie, you sure ain't do him right

They was up real late, they was drinking the night

Oh, the legend says they may have gotten a fight

Oh Lyin' Donzie, only one who really knows

Oh the things she said, put a good man away

No one really knows what happened that day

Truth be told, on that mountain

She said she saw an old Weaver pushing Louis down

That was the talk all over the town

Oh, that Lyin' Donzie

They arrested him, put him in the jail

Couldn't make bond, couldn't get no bail

That Lyin' Donzie

A jurisprudence didn't work so well

An innocent man in a concrete hell

Spending his days alone in a cell

Never pushed Louis, he just fell

And Donzie knows it
